hi, dunno really where to post this but i got kinda problem
this is what i got:
/////// image.html
<img src='http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/image.php'>
/////// image.php
<?php
$array1 = array('av.gif','sig.gif');
$rand_keys1 = array_rand ($array1, 2);
$image = $array1[$rand_keys1[0]];
echo "<img src='http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/$image'>";
?>
that's what i have know, i guess you know what i want, i want just to get a random image on the image.html page, how would i do that ? thank you
)and what is wrong? did you get any errors?
you have to seed the random array
<?php
$array1 = array('av.gif','sig.gif');
srand ((float) microtime() * 10000000);
$rand_keys1 = array_rand ($array1, 2);
$image = $array1[$rand_keys1[0]];
echo "<img src='http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/$image'>";
?>no you misunderstood my question, my problem is how to get a random image on the image.html file, without having to work with iframes like ad systems work.hmm, i dont know if you can do that.....me neither, but it's for a forum siggy, so i can't use html stuffix T_TOriginally posted by yoda
no you misunderstood my question, my problem is how to get a random image on the image.html file, without having to work with iframes like ad systems work.
did you get an error? and does it even work? I understand what you want I all I said is you need to seed the rand array. nothing was said about an iframe so what are you talking about? you can get a randome image wihout a iframe and what is this html suffix?did you get an error?
No
and does it even work?
(the rand. image on the image.php file) Yesthen I wm lost as to what you want. can you explain yourself a littel better. you said somethin about a sig image for a forum? so do you want the image to be in a html file tha tis calling a php script? then no you can't have that. but what is the forum?ok my explaination:
I want to get a random image in a forum signature. The forum is phpbb2, and doesn't allow html in sigs. so i have to use url tags.
so i tried to make it like this with a php file.
but i guess this is impossible
no it isn't impossible. instead of using a html page just do what you did in the first post.
do this in your sig
[img ]http://www.yoursite.com/image.php[/img ]
then you have the script from above in that file. what is wrong with that?hmmm i did what you said, look at my sig.
the image.php file can be found here (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.exartic.net/~yoda/image.php">http://www.exartic.net/~yoda/image.php</a><!-- m -->)
But it dind't work.
...
i the content of that php file, can not be displayed in the img. ...in your sig you forgot the www. tha tis all I can see that you did wrong. maybe that host won't let you hotlink images.no what i actually dont get is.. here a example:
I make a html page with a lot of text, and somewhere on that page i do: <img src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"bla.gif">.
Than on a second page i would do <img src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"test.html">
If i would do that it wouldn't display the picture that is on that page right ?
I know (think) you can't do in a <img tag as a src .html or .php or whatever. It needs to be a valid image extension.you can only do this
<img src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"image.php">
if the site parses php, that is perfectly valid. it will dispaly the image in that page if the image.php source has
echo"<img src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"some.jpg">";
it will echo out.
try putting the whole path in the imgae tag. the one in the image.php page.
edit: also add this to the very top of the script
header("content-Type: image/*");
* = what ever extension you are using in yout img tag. jpg, gifwell, i tried, dind't work im totally lost now
here both sources if image.php and image.html
image.php (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gq-guild.com/image.php">http://www.gq-guild.com/image.php</a><!-- m -->)
<?php
header("content-Type: image/gif");
$array1 = array('images/knight_m.gif','images/logo2.gif');
srand ((float) microtime() * 10000000);
$rand_keys1 = array_rand ($array1, 2);
$image = $array1[$rand_keys1[0]];
echo "<img src='http://www.gq-guild.com/$image'>";
?>
image.html (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gq-guild.com/image.html">http://www.gq-guild.com/image.html</a><!-- m -->)
<img src='http://www.gq-guild.com/image.php'>
I really don't know it anymore. Site parses php perfectly (also supports hotlinking, itm's my paid server)
If you could give some sort of revised code, that would be highly apreciated
hmmm I can't get it to work eitehr. funny thing is you can do this with the gd library and create your own image and it works fine, but this way won't, strange. I will look into this more.hehe well thanks anyway, just notice me when you find out something about this topic 
wait, why cant u just use <?php include("whatever.php"); ?> or doesnt it allow it?you can't
this is what i got:
/////// image.html
<img src='http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/image.php'>
/////// image.php
<?php
$array1 = array('av.gif','sig.gif');
$rand_keys1 = array_rand ($array1, 2);
$image = $array1[$rand_keys1[0]];
